Journalism In sivas,

Although Sivas Is a city OF some 10000 in
habitants, tho capital Of tho province and
commercial center OF central Asia Minor, 1t
has but one newspaper, and 1t Is one only In
1ame II is badly printed sheet OF about
twelve by fifteen inches. It Is tho official
paper In every sense, being not only tho me-
iium for communicating official notices, but
also owned, edited and published by the local
government. 1t has no Geographic news, no
local news except Of an official character, no
reporters and no advertisements; so it can
hardly be called newspaper. Its publishers
have novel way OF getting subscribers.
Every government official, from the highest
70 the lowest, is a subscriber; not because no
wants to be, but because he is compelled to.
There is no giving of chromos or "nduce-
mcnts for clubs" Tho publishers have far
more effective way of swelling their sub
,cription list than by any such waste
Of money. 1t Is very simple way,
too. 1t simply consists In deducting from
all officials salaries, including those OF
,ubordinates down to the lowest clerks,
tho amount of the annual subscription.
He may take the paper or leave it, But he
has to pay for it, and as there are a vast
number of officials, lesser or greater, the edi-
tor has most enviable position. He need
never fear that terror of impecunious Ameri-
can editors, the ;rate subscriber who stalks
into the sanctum and issues the terrifying
mandate, 'Stop my paper" Lacause his name
was mentioned or not mentioned, as the case
may be; nor has he any of the other annoy
ances " dependence on sour esteemed sub
scrbers," which make fife burden to editors
In less favored lands. His is indeed happy
lot, and one to make many n harassed western
swen grow green with envy.--Boston Herald.

New Sugar Processes.

The march of improvement in manufactur-
ing methods has invaded the sugar industry.
There is now in competition with the diffusion
process invented by Governor Yarmouth,
of Louisiana, what, if its merits be not over
stated, is a formidable rival. By diffusion,
the sugar Of the cane is extracted in the form
of very weak liquid composed largely Of
water. 1t is claimed that $50 pounds Of
sugar will be produced by this system from a
ton of cane, a gain Of about 50 per cent on
the results obtainable by the old system. But
tho solution Is SO weak that getting rid of tho
water by evaporation almost absorbs the
value of the additional sugar gained. Mr..
Yasgan, of Toledo, o.. invented, about year
ago, system of multiple effect evaporation,
which, it is said, will overstep this objection.
BY his method the evaporation isperformed
within coils of pipe surrounded by steam or
other heating medium, but a small quantity
Of liquid being within the coll at any one
time The main advantage claimed for tho
system is economy of fuel. Thsmachines are
automatic, and the system Is applicable to
glue, wood pulp, liquors, condensed milk,
caustic soda, etc-Demorests Monthly.

A Curious "Reminiscences.

A curious "Reminiscences Of Boston In
the olden times is related by an old citi-
zen. Mr.. W, wealthy merchant
in the Calcutta trade, who at his death
left millions for his heirs, having some
business of Importance in New York,
visited that city in the company Of his
son, who, unlike his father, had an in
clnation to see tho sights OF the great
city. They stopped at the Aston house.
then recently built Everything was
new to tho old man, who after supper
parted with his son with the paternal in
junction that they were to meet at 0
o'clock p. IN. Punctuany at that hour
the old Mr.. W repaired to the office,
and In his simplicity inquired, "Has my
son Thomas arrived?" The clerk re-
piled, "Who is your son Thomas?"
"Why," said the cid man, Thomas
W, of Boston," "Not in" said the
clerk. A half hour elapsed, and the old
man, getting anxious, again approached
the counter and inquired of another
clerk, "Has my son Thomas appeared"
"Who is your SOM" inquired the new
clerk. "Why, Thomas W, of Bos-
ton" answered the old man. "Not in"
said the clerk. At 10 o'clock the tired
and weary old man again made the same
inquiry of another clerk, with the same
result. "Well," said the old gentleman,
'you can shut up your house; you
needn't wait for him any longer. I'll go

Something About Mineral water.

ut Is easy to gull the public,n said young
man who tends the fountain In down town
cigar store. "The people who drink mineral
waters under the impression that they will do
Them as much benefit as il they visited the
springs little know that nearly ali of tho stuff
is made up In University place. Some of the
foreign waters are genuine but the domestic
brands are merely Croton water cleaned with
marble dust and impregnated with alkalies
1t doesn't pay to bring water from the springs
so long as tho public are satisfied with a
counterfeit article. People know very little
about mineral waters, and when the boss
started tho fountain the manufacturer came
down and gave him some tips.
AS you arc Just starting In the business,
MIR. Blank said he, Il would say that you
will find it necessary to get only two kinds Of
mineral water. There are taps on the foun-
tain for six different springs, but will at
|tach three faucets TO each Of the two siphons
so as to save you trouble and expense. You
can thus supply your customers with what
over they call for, and no one will ever DO the
wiser. If you should happen to run out Of
mineral water Mt any time, you may just give
plain soda'
"lf these bogus mineral waters do no good
they are at least harmless. In this they differ
from the various cordials and sedatives that
80 many foolish people get into the habit Of
taking. There are fashions in drugs as well
as in anything else. The quinine fever of q
few years ago Is slowly dying out Bromide
OF potassium, choral, and absinthe arc now
mostly in favor, and when once man be-
comes slave to these it is but an easy stage
to cocaine and opium Our counter trade is
confined almost entirely to men, but think
women are tho worst drug fiends, because
they buy the stuff in bulk and keep slipping
at it all day at home. The women who take
it through their veins by injection soon be-
come mental and physical wrecks, and gen.
orally end by taking their own lives. The
mixture Of patent blood medicines and nerve
tonics in summer drinks is fast becoming a
favorite tipple. The nastier the draught the
better it seems to sell. "-New York Evening

A HUMoRlST'S PATHoS.

Ny baby slept-how calm his rest
As DER his handsome face a smile
Like that Of angel fitted while
lie lay so still upon my breast.
My baby slept--his baby head
Lay all unkissed meath pail and shroud--
did not weep or cry aloud
only wished I, too, were dead
My baby sleeps-a tiny mound,
All covered by the little flowers,
woos me In all my waking hours
Down In the quiet burying ground
And when sleep seem to be
With baby in another land
take this little baby hand
He smiles and sings sweet songs to me.
Sleep on, o baby, while keep
My vigils till this Day be past;
Then shall /, too, lie down at last
And with my baby darling sleep.

nifty, existing, not as so many of tho public
institutions, in an old edifice diverted from
church or convent uses since the reform laws
were issued, but in handsome structure
specially erected for its purpose. The history
Of its origin is somewhat striking. Don Luis

everyday debaucheries, he stumbled over
some swine greedily feeding in n narrow by

arm and hand of n new born baby.
Carrying his CHASTITY find away with him,
he unused and mourned over the pitiful sight
Of those tender fingers, and there seemed to
fall across his mental vision a light that
showed him all the crime and baseness TO
which his immoraities contributed He re-
formed and died in the odor of sanctity,
leaving 900 for the founding of house
of maternity. The will was contested long
by Haro's relations, but the charity finally
triumphed and the hospital has been opened
about two years. 1t is maintained by its
endowment and its administration is con-

niggardly basis. There is room for forty
patients, and the qualifications are the ap-

Ind their infants are given one full suit of

When William Pitt Fessenden was a
student in Bowdoin College the men,
bers of his class assigned him to sing a
song at a public entertainment. He
protested that he did not have a
musical voice, and begged them to ex-
cuse him. They were indisposed to
accede to his request, but he told them
story which brought them around.
He said that in his boyhood days he at
tended a singing school and thought he
was making fine progress. The school
was to have public exhibition, and he
went into the attic of his fathers house
one Sunday to prepare for it. The old
gentleman, after hearing practice for q
few moments, called out: "Pitt. stop

Driving Hens.

Most of my neighbors' hens appear
to be le-minded-very few hens
are intellectually strong-but at times
they display the cunning of maniac.
Especially is this apt to be the case
when they have succeeded in reducing
their nominal master to the condition
OF one. Recently my neighbor discov-
cred loose board on the back of his
hennery, creating an adjustable aper-
ture through which the restless fowls
found egress into this world Of care
and trouble and early gardens. While
he nailed on the board the entire crew
of hens walked sedately out of the
door on the other side which he had
left open. a general alarm was sound
ed, and the mans whole family at last
corraled the maudlin crew in the hen
merry. Then they walked quietly out
of the aperture of the loose board,
which he had left aiar. No, do not
wish you could have heard what he
said. Indeed, / am glad you did not
L did not hear it myself. He was too
far away. l could see his mouth going,
but l could hear no sound. 1 knew
what he was saying all the time, be-
cause / used to say it myself Oh, yes,

hopeful days, builded hennery, say
ing within myself: "There is nothing
better for man than that he should
eat and drink, and that he should
make his soul good in his labor" And
when the last sun of that year set on

pip, cholera, rats, red spiders. gapes,
cats, predatory freedmen, bumblefoot,
and ministers conference, l evicted
the cluster of omnivorous appetites
that wandered about the place in the
guise of hens, devouring my substance,
and all the adjacent substance that
happened to be left anywhere within
fifty feet of the ground; turned the
abandoned hennery into preserve for
coal, which was the dearest thing then
in the market, and looked on all the
works that my hands had wrought,
and on the labor that had labored to
do, and behold all was vanity and vex-
alton of spirit, and there was no profit
under the sun. Bob B1trdette.

"Slookerson confided to me his secret,

but worthy chaps looking for legiti-
mate advancement. He reads every
thing that he can lay his hands on
likely to be pleasant, and cultivates
both large and small talk. He talks
to none longer than he is certain that
he is aff,ording interest. The moment
interest lags he goes. His visits are
short and animated, and he makes
for home the instant that his fund of
material shows signs of running out.
He is one of the earliest to leave at
parties. He seeks to please, and dis
tributes his attentions among young
and old, thus making all like him, and
when he goes all are sorry that they
did not have q longer experience with
him. When he goes to see his best girl
she's worth 100000, and he has only
his salary-he is only long enough in
her company to make her wish an hour
could be spun into week. Her father

himself in fact. He isn't lavish of his
gifts of sociability or culture, but

ELEVATOR accidents are common,
and are often traced directly to the
victim himself. 1t frequently happens
that four or five men get on freight
elevator and start up to their work.
Skylarking and scuffiing is going on as
q matter of course, and when man
reaches the landing at the floor where
on he works, he is very apt to give his
neighbor q punch in the ribs or knock
his hat down over his eyes, and then
make Jump for the landing without
taking the trouble to stop the elevator.
If foot slips, or the man stumbles,
there is every chance for an accident.
Perhaps it is a broken ankle, or q dis
located shoulder, but sometimes it is
death. There is great danger from
such actions while the elevator is as
cending, but there is still more danger
while the elevator is going down. Then
a misstep when leaping out of the car
may cause person to be caught be-
tween the landing and bottom of the
car, when a horribly mangled body is
